An iceboat sails across the surface of a frozen lake with constant acceleration produced by the wind. At a certain instant the boat's velocity is (2.69î-2.98ĵ)m/s. Three seconds later, because of a wind shift, the boat is instantaneously at rest. What is the average acceleration for this 3.00 s interval?
an object has a velocity of (5.4 m/s)i - (5.8 m/s)j. over a period of 1.3 s, its velocity changes to (1.7 m/s)i + (5.9 m/s)j. What is the displacement
The y-coordinate of a particle in curvilinear motion is given by y = 11.3t3 - 11.2t, where y is in inches and t is in seconds. Also, the particle has an acceleration in the x-direction given by ax = 3.1t in./sec2. If the velocity of the particle in the x-direction is 7.5 in./sec when t = 0, calculate the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a of the particle when t = 3.3 sec. Construct v and a in your solution.Answers: When t = 3.3 sec,

Assuming the acceleration of gravity on earth is approximately 10 m/s^2, twelve seconds after being dropped from rest, a freely falling cantaloupe has a speed of..
On a spacecraft two engines fire for a time of 532 s. One gives the craft an acceleration in the x direction of ax = 4.92 m/s2, while the other produces an acceleration in the y direction of ay = 7.16 m/s2. At the end of the firing period, the craft has velocity components of vx = 3743 m/s and vy = 4808 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the initial velocity.
Dr. John Paul Stapp was a U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme acceleration on the human body. On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s. Calculate his (a) acceleration in his direction of motion and (b) acceleration opposite to his direction of motion. Express each in multiples of g (9.80 m/s2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity.

An iceboat sails across the surface of a frozen lake with constant acceleration produced by the wind. At a certain instant the boat’s velocity is (6.30 - 8.42 ) m/s. Three seconds later, because of a wind shift, the boat is instantaneously at rest.What is its average acceleration for this 3.00 s interval?
A child is practicing for a BMX race. His speed remains constant as he goes counterclockwise around a level track with two straight sections and two nearly semicircular sections as shown in the aerial view of Figure 0Q6.1.

An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 19000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 4.23 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2.
